Without a massive BBC subsidy propping it up, DAB would be dead in the water here in the UK. Everyone hammering on about poor quality AM or LW signals probably has a poor quality receiver, or lives in the middle of nowhere. If the latter is true, then the current DAB signal is hardly likely to improve the quality of your listening!

that is, with all respect, complete nonsense. 

You live in the UK then? What is "nonsense" for you, might not be for us. See 

Hi Jeff,

We got 12 on Monday, I can't imagine that Phipp's Plaza doesn't have some.  Let me know if they don't.

Actually the Iphone 3GS won't act as a personal hotspot. Only Iphone 4 or later as stated in this Apple support document: link

Well, offcourse you are right. But at least it's not a hardware limitation. You can run a wifi hotspot from an older iPhone, once it's jailbroken.

Why on earth is the latest compact music system little red riding hood is running in the woods with, not able to create it's own wirelses network so the AirPlay functions could work when i take it to the park ?

Is it just me ??

I don't think that its just you; but this is an objection that I just don't get.  If you're out at the park for a picnic, and you have your iDevice and your BeoLit 12, what is the issue with plugging the two together.  Main advantage?  Turning off the wifi on the iDevice, and don't activate it on the BeoLit 12, you greatly increase the battery life of both, and in fact the BeoLit 12 will power and charge the iDevice.  Likely a little better sound quality as well, and no dropouts.  How is this not a win/win?

Apple Store says it's working with iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.

So it will not work at all with a 3GS? Or will it work with some limitations?

 Mind you, whether the traditional B&O audience "get" this is another matter entirely.

Vintage Moxxey comment... But rest assured:

being a "B&O traditionalist" I get it and I got one. Beolit 12 was very easy to set up, very easy to use - very "full sound" - stable Wifi connection.

The right "play" by B&O to its expand customer base !

We got em' here in Texas!! They sound amazing for such a small package! Have to admit that the design wasn't my favorite at first, but once you see it in person, it is a true B&O. A very good customer of ours just drove 7 hours from Louisiana to hear it. Two minutes listening it was sold. That would make 5 in less than two days.... 

Here in the store we are demonstrating it on at all times with Airplay via our store PC. We have not experienced a single drop out yet.... this I expect will not be the norm however... just a FYI. 

Maybe Bose was right all along and a bass heavy mix is the way forward!👍

Sorry, just poking with a pointy stick, I haven't heard it yet!😁
